By the time you are reading this, Thanksgiving may be in the past. There are plenty of stories to tell about this holiday and I am sure we all have one. As a new bride, I hosted my husband’s family for Thanksgiving. I made the turkey and found the giblets in the regular cavity, just like it in a chicken. My mother-in-law was helping me take it out of the pan to serve and she discovered the neck in the turkey’s neck cavity in a plastic bag. I had no idea it was there. My sweet MIL never said a word!
Hope your meal went well, and even if something happened, let’s hope you laughed about it and enjoyed your family being together. That is the most important part of the holiday!

Our City of Watonga crews have begun hanging Christmas lights downtown. The weather is supposed to be cooler and it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Be safe and enjoy the season.
